Bug Description
e.g. move a handle on a simple (2 stop) gradient, in a simple rectangle, and wait a few seconds before it updates; often it will never catch up with the position of the mouse.
I've noticed that this happens a lot since I've started using swatches (great feature, in theory). I can filter out all osb: attributes (killing my swatch - and importantly, killing all defs not used in the file that vacuum defs leaves in there), then vacuum defs, then it functions descent speed.
Obviously referencing a definition instead of defining the colour in-place adds an overhead, but I would expect only a very slight one?
Is this helpful?
Inkscape reports itself as "0.48+devel r (Nov 21 2010)" although it's packaged as 0.49 for Ubuntu 10.10 amd64. It's running on a new i3 machine with 4Gb ram.
